56081 again, this time pictured thundering past Grangetown whilst in charge of 6D80 1328 Redcar-Scunthorpe coke hoppers on 08/08/2003. The day had begun with a trip out to the cliff tops at Brotton.

Five hours later and I did make it onto the cliff tops in rasping sunshine as the following two images will show.
56018 is pictured arriving at Grangetown with 6F65 1253 Boulby Potash Mine-Tees Dock on 08/08/2003.
